    aw, I love beagles

    re cats in the bathroom - it's not that easy to get up and get dressed in the mornings either sometimes. Our cat is bored and social and likes to be lifted onto a lap first thing in the morning, um... let's say no matter where you might be sitting. And more often than not she'll just slide over sideways and fall splendidly asleep

    Introducing Lucy!

    Almost 3 years after losing my beloved Boo-Boo cat and 1 month plus after losing Pooky-Wooky Isis kitty, DP and I went to the shelter last Friday and brought home this little bundle of energy and curiosity:

    She is 1 year and 1 month and a little underweight (6.4 lbs) but we are working on that.

    So far, Athena cat still hisses and growls but they did both sleep in the same bed last night for the first time.

    Katy is very curious but soooooooooo wonderfully gentle with the new kitty.

    LOL. Lucy is making those middle-of-the-night bathroom trips ... interesting. Can I jump up in your lap? As can be seen above, she quickly discovered the bathtubs; she also likes to bat at water in dripping from the sink and she seems fascinated with batting her paw into the toilet water. Oh, and she likes plants too. Everything is taking on aroma de bitter apple.

    ooh! I'm so happy you got a black kitty! everyone should have a black cat as they tend to languish in shelters. I like how you're colour coordinated, black, white, and black and white!

    Welcome, Lucy!! What a wonderful group of furbabies you have, Norsegoddess. Good on you for giving a shelter cat a home.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Awww, so many cute photos of cats and puppies and children and...

    Norsegoddess, they all look adorable, and thanks for giving a lovely little black cat a home, they do have such a hard time finding a forever home.

    Thanks everyone. Lucy is our second black cat as my Boo-Boo was also black, and the most loving kitty you could have asked for. The bias against black cats is just silly IMHO. We didn't plan the black/white scheme (Athena even has a black/gray tail), it just happened!
